the clothes 2011

One of the good things about spreading your wardrobe around the country and half in boxes, is that when you get across state lines and start opening boxes, you feel as if you had just gone shopping. The itch for new items is temporarily appeased with the site of long-forgotten dresses and accessories. I'm also very eager to find my red knit cap which I missed all winter...

I'm sure some readers will remember Gus (my mother's puppy). He's gotten a little bigger since I last saw him, but he is as adorable as ever.

Elsa Mora's flower girls look like they could be dancing in quaint gardens everywhere.

These are the last few pictures I snapped of outfits I wore while still on the East coast at my Grandmother's house. Although my Grandmother is constantly changing some aspect of her house, whether it be new carpets or a fresh coat of paint, there is something very pleasantly consistent in her home. It is the one home we have repeatedly visited as I grew up moving on average every three years from house to house and state to state. While she alters parts the whole remains the same and full of quirky, personal touches.

These book sculptures by Su Blackwell have been blowing my mind for months. It is as if the pages of the stories have come to life in more than just the reader's imagination...
Helen Musselwhite does far more amazing things with construction paper than I ever believed possible.

A final, worthy literary piece would be this book ring by Ana Cardim.

It's been awhile since I did a "picture an hour" post and so I decided to attempt to capture my Tuesday as I flew from MD to WA. It is quite a hassle to attempt to move across country in a couple of suitcases and a few boxes...
